For she had definitely decided all her plot she told me so a few days later. But would poor little Miss Liston get out? I was none too sure of it. Suddenly a change came in the state of affairs. Pamela produced it. It must have struck her that the increasing intimacy of Miss Liston and Chillington might become something other than "funny."
Dance looked shocked. "You must not talk in that way, dear, on any account," she said. "You must try to like Lady Chillington; it is to your interest to do so. But even should you never learn to like her, you must not let anyone know it." "I'm sure that I shall like the lady that you call Sister Agnes," I said. "When shall I see her? To-morrow?" Mrs. Dance looked at me sharply for a moment.
"You think you shall like Sister Agnes, eh? When you come to know her, you will more than like her; you will love her. But perhaps Lady Chillington will not allow you to see her." "But why not?"

"I am bound to Lady Chillington by a solemn promise not to reveal to you the nature of the secret bond which has brought you under her roof. That she has your welfare at heart you may well believe, and that it is to your interest to please her in every possible way is equally certain.
Strange the difference of men's talk! Some say that Lambert must of necessity yield up; others, that he is very strong, and that the Fifth-monarchy-men will stick to him, if he declares for a free Parliament.

She is allowed to live here always, and Lady Chillington would hardly know how to get through the day without her." "Is she not a relative of Lady Chillington?" I asked. "No, not a relative," answered Dance. "You must try to love her a great deal, my dear Miss Janet; for if angels are ever allowed to visit this vile earth, Sister Agnes is one of them. But there goes her ladyship's bell.
She had hardly gone in when the wanderers came out of the shrubbery and rejoined me. Chillington wore his usual passive look, but Miss Liston's face was happy and radiant. Chillington passed on into the drawing-room. Miss Liston lingered a moment by me. "Why, you look," said I, "as if you'd invented the finest scene ever written."
